Chloe in my baby outfits



Here is Chloe in my baby outfits that my mom had me in when I was about three months old. So my little Chloe is even fatter than I. She is only two months and the outfits fit pretty good.

A little update on Chloe-

She has been a pretty good baby since initiating the bottle at 4-5 weeks. No more of the hysterical crying after a feeding. (and less hysterical crying for momma too!) We assumed that it was reflux because lets face it, all the breastfeeding books say "your baby will get what they need breastfeeding"! Well, not my Chloe. She was such a sleepy eater, our meals went a little bit like...suck, fall asleep, gag and choke, attempt to burp it out, become pissed off, and start over. This took 45 minutes to an hour and she would still cry for at least 15 minutes after that! SOOO Halloween weekend, after a terrible trip to the pumpkin patch, I had enough and she got a bottle. For us this was a life saver and my unhappy little girl became content for the first time. The "sigh" she gave after her first bottle feeding was all I needed to help me make that decision.

She has been doing so well since 5 weeks old. We began cooing quietly with a loud "coo" every now and then. She loves to talk when getting her diaper changed. After all, the bathroom with the vent on is her favorite place to be in the house. The white noise of the vent would calm her down almost instantaneously.

This week we found our hands and tummy time has become so unproductive because it puts her in the optimal position to suck on them without having to reach very far! She nearly puts herself to sleep on her tummy now and gives a flip about rolling our lifting her head. :).

Since Halloween, she also has been sleeping through the night going down anywhere from 8 to 10 and sleeping till 5-7 nearly every night.

She also loves her baths with her daddy but HATES getting her clothes changed!

Baptism


Chloe was baptized at St. Michael's Church last Sunday. We had a wonderful mass and she didn't make a peep the whole service! YEAH! Her Godparents are her wonderful aunts.. Kelli and Beth who will do a great job with her as she grows up. Her dress was made by her Grandmother out of her wedding dress and it turned out beautiful!

Well, my sister has informed me that I need to do something for this blog since I don't even have my little one posted! Yes, she is 8 weeks old and just beautiful! She has begun to "coo" and smile! Her coos are so quiet and so lady like. I am sure they will be getting louder if she takes after her mommy! She has also found her hands this week and it is hysterical to find her with her fist in her mouth, nearly gagging herself! I will try to be more up to date with the blog, but I am going back to work soon and all this technology is overwhelming to keep up with (facebook, her baby book, her baby albulm, email! arghh!)
